Icelantic athlete Hayden Price brings us up to speed about traveling with fellow Icelantic athletes in Japan filming episode 1 of the Return To Nature series. Click here to get some of the Japanuary Japow action!

Icelantic's Amy David tells us about her first powder days of the season on the new Maiden 111.   "November is the time of year we return to winter. Although it happens every year, each time feels like a new “Maiden voyage” into the ski season. The anticipation for the first skiable snowfall builds, and the first round of powder turns transmits a deep energy throughout the ski community. My first turns of the season commenced on the summit of Galena Pass adjacent to Sun Valley, Idaho."

If this doesn't get you hyped for winter then we don't know what will. Last season Icelantic athletes Hayden Price, Scotty VerMerris, Amy David, Julian Carr, and Aiden Ulrich took Alta and the surrounding Wasatch by storm during the deepest days of the year with filmer and editor Andrew Mildenberger. Here's a little window into the experience. Enjoy, the deep days are coming. #ReturnToNature

Sad to lose a fellow skier and cherished friend. Adam Roberts was a bright light and a rich soul, we will always remember him and his immense spirit and passion for life, love, skiing, and nature. The Icelantic family would like to pay tribute to our fallen friend.

RIP Adam, you taught us a lot and you will be missed.

When I first clicked into the Pioneer 109 I felt as though Icelantic discovered the perfect ski that met the core demands of an everyday big mountain skier.  Not only is the ski incredibly nimble in the skin track but it also breaks trail more efficiently than any other ski I’ve ever been on.  On a more personal note, the ski helped redefine the style in which I execute the down-hill decent as well.
